|
|
I merged imagemagick, but import, convert, animate, and display are still nowhere to be seen. I did an updatedb followed by "locate convert" and such, but nothing comes up. I took a look at /var/db/pkg/media-gfx/imagemagick-5.4.7/CONTENTS and any of the above-mentioned utilities are not present there. What gives?[/quote] |

I assume you're looking for specific programs, not something like an imagemagick option. If so, try doing Code: | which <programname> | or Code: | whereis <programname> | or Code: | locate <programname> | I've personally never gotten locate to work, but I'm sure if I read the manpage it would probably tell me why not.
If all else fails, try Code: | find / -iname '<programname>' | I *think* that's the correct order, although if not, switch the '/' and the '-iname'. (Sorry I can't be certain, but I'm using a computer other than my own at the moment.) In any event, find will exhaustively search your filesystem for <programname>, just as if you did a recursive ls, and grepped the output for <programname>. |

This is a little off topic for the thread, but here's how to get locate to work:
locate uses a special database to speed up the finding of files quickly. It needs to be periodically updated to make locate work. I put the following script in the /etc/cron.daily directory (called updatedb.cron):
Code: | #!/bin/sh
#
# Uncomment the following if you want
# your locate database rebuilt regularly
#
/usr/bin/updatedb |

I've already done that. I did a updatedb followed by "locate convert". I get a bunch of things, but none of them are the ones I want (I get things like sfconvert, and other non-imagemagick-related files with the word "convert" in them). The CONTENTS file does not appear to have /usr/bin/convert (or "convert" at all) in it. I've unmerged it and remerged it, but I still don't get the binaries I want. It seems to be only compiling the perl module. |

What are your USE flags? Do you see any error messages when compiling imagemagick? _________________ For every higher wall, there is a taller ladder |
